Plaza Mayor And The Town Hall Of Segovia, Spain Editorial Image

Plaza Mayor is a town square in the Spanish town of Segovia. Within Plaza Mayor, you can find several important buildings, such as the town hall, the Juan Bravo Theatre, the San Miguel Church, and the cathedral. Centuries before the plaza was built in the 17th century, the space was treated as the center of the village, where vendors would install their stands and citizens would socialize and meet. It is said that in the middle ages, the street was known as Calle de la Cinteria, which means Ribbon Street because of the sector`s shops and all its vendors. The town hall was built in the 17th century and ever since has been the building where the majority of Segovian events take place.
